Elimination of trust in 3rd parties through decentralization, was the primary reason I got into web3. However, with ZK, we don't have to think about decentralization as a source of trustlessness. Decentralization is now more for the sake of censorship resistance & robustness.

We used to think Web3 = blockchain. Today, it is no longer true. The spirit of Web3 native is to be verifiable, permissionless, composable. ZK extends verifiable compute off-chain. Especially for use cases like ZKML, zk-DID, the bulk of the work + proving is done off-chain.

Since then a lot of projects have been able to secure funding. Prop #202 was passed to provide funding to @SparkIBC for building a multi-chain & chain-agnostic hub for information and tooling. This IMO will be vital to understand what is happening in the multiverse of Cosmos!

As always, @cosmos is continuing to innovate and experiment with new ideas. Not all of them will be successful but all of them will serve as a great learning exercise, not just for Cosmos but for entire Web3 community. LFG! 🚀

ATOM2.0 proposed during @CosmoverseHQ didn't pass as community was wary of implementing many ideas at once. ATOM2.0 proposed new monetary policy to secure funds for development of @cosmoshub & Interchain Security to capture more value to #ATOM .

4/25: @ethereum has gradually moved towards a roll-up centric architecture by modularizing its stack. L2s like @optimismFND , @arbitrum , @zksync can take care of ordering of transactions and execution. Ethereum validators only need to handle final settlement and data availability.

@camiinthisthang 1) Liveness and Censorship resistance. 2) Competition among different provers will incentivise them to improve their performance which in turn will benefit the end users. Protocols want faster and most efficient proving. That is easily made possible by decentralising the proving

@ArthurB @zengjiajun_eth IMO in 10 years, all rollups will be ZK and will commit blocks with finalized state roots to L1 every slot. It will take a lot of infrastructure and prover optimization to get there, but that's the clear endgame.
